Owner withdrawls

Hi there, I was just looking for some advice when it comes to Owner Withdrawls.

 

As a one-person small business, I do not pay myself out on payroll. Instead I transfer $$ that I need from my business chequing account (regular chequeing, I do not have a "small business banking" account) to my personal chequing account.

I am wondering how I should account for these in Quickbooks. Should I be,

A) "categorizing" it as an "expense" under "owner withdrawls"

Or

B) "record as transfer" to "owner withdrawls"

 

When I mark it as expense it adds it to my monthly expenses which I don't particularly want, so last year I used the "transfer" option but I want to make sure this is okay. TIA!

Do not expense owner withdrawals.

 

Book the entries to owner drawings on the balance sheet. 

 

Unless you have yourself set up in payroll the money you take out is NOT an expense
